The old houses can trace their history back many hundreds of years, as can the church of St Laurence, which is 900 years old. The village’s first recorded history dates back to the time of William the Conqueror, who gave it to one of his barons.

The biggest event in the village each year is Well Dressing Week when the three wells are beautifully decorated in the form of colourful triptych pictures composed of flower-heads, bark and grasses and are blessed on the Wednesday after the second Sunday in August
